3. F. FITCH, of Colorado, was
in camp from Wednesday till
yesterday as the guest of the
Ontario company. While here Mr..
Fitch took birds eye view of the
surrounding country and kept his host,
M. G. Foote, quite busy answering
questions about the economic resources
of this part of Utah. Mr.. Fitch is none
other than the Gvant courier of the
Colorado & Utah Midland Railway,
which is heading this way. Mr.. Fitch
was quite reticent lit was expected he
would be so) but he did not conceal the
fact that he would like his road to come
through the McHenry Canyon and
down through the town. He finally
conceded the point that the most
practicable route for his road from the
east into the Park would be through
Daniels Canyon to Heber and from
there up the Provo River to Hailstone's
and then on past Moulton's to Silver
Creek, coming into town from the east.
The advance guard of railroad sur
ing in Parley's Canyon for, the Mid
land. The depot boys keep posted on
their movements. but their lips are
sealed to Midland man. Undoubtedly
the Midland will strike the Park in its
westward course, but it will be many
months before it toots whistle here
Park Record.
THE plans for the Garfield improve
ments were mailed last evening and
will probably arrive here by Thursdays
mail.
THE rumor of change in the pr s.
ldency of the Union Pacific mentioned |
in Sundays HERALD, is discredited in |
railroad circles here.
THERE are fifty locomotive engines in
course of construction in the Central |
Pacific Railroad Company's shops at |
The car department is
now building 200 fruit cars, 200 fat cars
and twenty cabooses, and there is some |
'alk of more sleepers being added to the
'olling stock, exclusive of the twenty
9ne ordered, and now being built by the
Pullman Palace Car Company.
For several weeks past the Northern
Pacific has averaged car load of i'm
migrants each day. They are mostly
destined for Washington Territory ana
he Pacific Coast. Among those going
vest, Yesterday, we're party of fifteen
rom Pennsylvania going to Seattle,
nd another of seven from Missouri to
}itzville, Washington Territory.-Bil-
lngs Gazette.
The interstate commerce bill does not
bolish passes within the limits of
tate, although tho majority of the
Dads will withdraw them entirely. 1t
5 predicted by the railroaders them
elves that passes within State will be
ssued by all the roads not long after {
he bill goes into effect. 1t will be
aused by competition between the !
mes. For instance, the Louisville
outhern, when it is completed, will,
7hen man ships heavy lot of goods
0 Danville Junction, offer him a pass {
desires to go along. Consequently $
be Louisville & Nashville, in self-de
snse, will do the same thing. Other s
Dads will be controlled by like causes {

The Utah & Northern is still unable
D keep up with the freight shipments p
orthward from Ogden.
